Strategic Advisory Services
Strategy + Execution
A well-defined strategy, even if clearly articulated, is only as good as your ability to implement it.
How many times have we heard stories about companies engaging strategy consultants only to have the final deliverable(s) sit in a binder on a shelf?
It’s not that the research and recommendations aren’t good, it’s that most companies find it difficult translating and operationalizing the strategy into manageable initiatives that drive value.
People + Engagement
People are the life-blood of your organization and managing the acceptance, adoption and indoctrination of change - whatever that change may be - is critical to your company's success.
How often have you tried to implement a change only to have people cling to or navigate back to the "old way" of doing things?
Beyond the org chart, attention needs to be paid to other key elements including roles & responsibilities, performance measures, incentives & rewards, management & thinking styles and reporting structures.
Process + Efficiency
It's not what you do but how you do it that distinguishes you from your competition. That know-how usually manifests itself in your critical business processes which is why many large-scale change projects begin with process re-design.
However, too many re-designed processes never get implemented. Since re-designed processes provide an input to organization re-structuring, system design and even definition of new operating models and cultures, you can't afford not to get it right.
Technology + Effectiveness
With so many key process flows and operations embedded in legacy information systems, most transformational change efforts involve some degree of IT. That said IT is an enabler and successfully implementing change to improve performance requires that all levers of change - including IT - be brought to bear in an integrated manner.

Innovation + Transformation
Many people think innovation is about bringing a break-through, never been seen before idea to market - an inventor has an idea, develops it and introduces it to the world - that addresses an unmet (perhaps even unrealized) customer need. While that is certainly the purest, most extreme form of innovation (innovation = invention) the practitioners at JCD Consulting Group believe that "everyday" innovation in much less linear, but rather circular, in nature (innovation = revolution); enabled through a disciplined process and an empowered culture.
